Throggs Neck Animal Hospital

Why put a schedule of the suppose office hours when there is no doctors when you call.

Horrible horrible horrible! If there was 0 stars, I’d give them that! We took our dog who was 3 months at the time to get a checkup. They recommended as part of the checkup he’d get a distemper vaccine and rabies. Everything went fine. He had kennel cough. He was given antibiotics. The bill for distemper, antibiotics, rabies and visit was 500 dollars! I couldn’t believe it! We also decided to take him somewhere else. Hes at bronx veterinary center and we are so happy here. We found out he wasn’t supposed to get the rabies until 16 weeks and he got it at 12. Thank god nothing happened but do you want your pet going here where they can’t even figure out when your puppy needs vaccinations? I hope they hire some qualified vets who actually know how to care for a pet.

My dog had an ear infection. After careful treatment, Dr. Manesis was able to treat her. She feels a lot better now. This is an excellent facility I would definitely recommend!

For the record, the caseworker who handled the investigation said she couldn’t prove wrongdoing without an autopsy. You were not fully exonerated. She said it made her sick that you were still in practice and thanked me for filing my complaint. She said that at least my complaint should keep you honest for a while.
Also, you never did explain why my cat died. What exactly did you do for $ 450? I still don’t understand. No ultrasound? Nothing? Maybe you could have saved my beloved cat’s life. It’s obvious that you care little about animals and are only in your field for the money. People have the right to know.
You also lied to the BX Times and stated that you were found innocent of all your previous crimes — taking a plead bargain is not «being found innocent.» Technically, you plead guilty to disorderly conduct to avoid serious misdemeanor charges regarding your dumping of hundreds of dead pets on the side of the road, committing an act of serious environmental pollution and defrauding your customers whom you told you were cremating their pets. How the court allowed you to plea down to such a minor offense, I have no idea — it is nothing short of a profound injustice that you did not have your license taken away.
You really think people are stupid. In the case of the BX Times reporter, you were right; he couldn’t even bother to make a phone call to the Harrison Courthouse and get the facts straight. But even the reporter started to understand who you really are when he called the court and found out the truth. He even made a revision to the online version of the article. I should also state that he is a pretty solid witness to attest to the fact that you are a liar, should you do something foolish like take me to court for slander or liable.
Again, I simply ask anyone reading this to google the doctor’s name (Andrew Manesis) before you bring your pet to him. I can never forgive myself for not looking into him deeper. I have no doubt that my beloved cat would be sitting on my lap right now making muffins and kissing my nose if I did my due diligence better.
You can threaten me with lawsuits, lie about threats I never made towards you and spin the truth all you want, but we both know what really happened to my cat and the truth about your character and integrity.
I believe in karma and Andrew Manesis will get his one day. With so many other vets to choose from in the tri-​state area, why go to this guy who has such a sketchy background?
RIP Kittonalina. I will never forget you, my little friend. I’m so sorry I let you down and brought you to this place.

***PLEASE READ THIS. SAVE YOUR ANIMALS FROM THIS MAN***
Anybody who has an animal knows how absolutely precious they are. They are your companions, your best friends, your shoulder to cry on. To some people, their dog or cat can be their everything. THAT is how I felt about my dog, Dobby. He was my bestest little buddy. I began to realize that something was amiss with Dobby when he began ingesting a lot of water. Being that it was winter time, I mistakenly thought that maybe his throat was dry because of the aggressive heat that was coming up in the apartment. If I could rewind time, and realize that that was a big red flag, I would give ANYTHING to do so.
When Dobby began showing other signs of illness, in desperation I looked for the closest vet to me. What a horrific mistake that was. I made an appointment with this evil piece of garbage, hoping that he would be able to help in curing whatever was ailing my precious dog.
When I brought my dog in, he was already quite ill. We had an appointment for 11AM, and were made to wait in the waiting room for about 30 minutes, even after I expressed how concerned I was about how ill he was. He actually vomited what I now know is blood while waiting to see this «man», and they didn’t even bother to clean it up. I saw the people that waited after me stepping all over it.
When I brought him in to see him, I explained his symptoms. When I told him that Dobby had begun vomiting, he didn’t even ask to describe what his vomit looked like. Maybe if he had, I would have been informed that Dobby was vomiting blood. He was nonchalant throughout the entire visit. He expressed that he felt a lot of possible things wrong with him: his liver was enlarged, he heard crackling in his lungs… shouldn’t he have been able to tell me that he was unable to treat him in his location? He didn’t. He proceeded to order tests, give Dobby a shot, take his urine, and take his blood. He explained to me that the results would be back Monday. (They weren’t.) He didn’t even seem concerned. This gave me a false sense of hope. I was so completely desperate that I practically THREW my money at the guy. He said to me «This is going to be a sizable bill.» I responded, «I’m willing to do anything.» He kind of scoffed at me, and said sarcastically «let’s see if you’re still saying that when I give you the bill.» WHAT? He gave me antibiotics (that cost 95.00), and sent me on my way, leaving me with more questions than answers, and a costly bill. He didn’t even show me how to administer the medicine to him. Being that I wasn’t thinking clearly, I didn’t even ask. He didn’t give me warning signs, he didn’t tell me WHEN to contact an emergency hospital. He gave me nothing; except for my sick, and dying dog back into my hopeful arms, and an empty wallet. He charged me 850.00 for one shot, blood work, urinalysis, and antibiotics. I am now demanding that he return the money for his non existent services, and he’s obviously giving me the run around.
Shortly after my dog saw him, my dog deteriorated at a rapid rate. A mere 24 hours after seeing him, my beloved dog died in my arms. There is no doubt that he was extremely negligent in his care. With the symptoms Dobby was exhibiting he should have been a man, and admitted that he was unable to provide the care that he needed in his rinky dink facility, and immediately sent me to an animal hospital. When this was mentioned to him he expressed that he was not his responsibility, and the he simply «gave me the number». Wow. Good for you. He also attempted to say that if I would have taken Dobby to an Emergency Animal Hospital that Dobby would still be alive. It is one of the cruelest things anybody has ever said to me.
Upon further research, I discovered that this man is absolutely evil, and was arrested for dumping the corpses of the animals that he euthanized on the side of the Hutchinson River Parkway, AFTER he accepted money from heartbroken owners for their cremations. Stay as far away as you can from this man. Please do not put yourself through the heartache that my family and I experienced. I would never wish it upon ANYBODY. We are completely devastated, and if we can keep ONE person from experiencing our devastation, then we’ve done Dobby justice.

I’ve been to this clinic once myself as I was taking my dad’s dog in for a visit as a favor. It was the last time I allowed my dad to take him there. The clinic itself is lonely, old looking and small. The vet himself was an older gentleman and VERY sarcastic. His attitude and condescending manner when speaking to me made me very uncomfortable. He simply looked at the dog once over, squeezed his bottom and said he had high cholesterol… Ummm k. I remember feeling like maybe this wasn’t the best place for my dads prized shitzu not to mention VERY pricey for the 5 minute check up we received. Recently my dad took him to the animal hospital in Middletown rd and he seemed very happy with the treatment he received. There were 2 different doctors looking him over and answering questions etc. also this «vet» was in the news a couple of years ago charged with illegally dumping of the many bodies of dead animals along the Hutchinson parkway, that most likely his patients had entrusted he would dispose of the bodies in a more dignified manner (not to mention whatever cost was involved)
I do not recommend under any circumstance.

Dr. Andy just treated my cat Ralph and I can’t thank him enough. As a cash strapped recent college grad, Dr. Andy was able to give me a couple different payment options.
Ralph is already back to normal doing his usual Ralph things.
I had a great experience at Throgs Neck Animal Hospital.

Dr. Manesis has treated my last two dogs and has been great throughout the years. He has helped us with everything our routine vaccinations to coping with our dog getting cancer.
He gives honest feedback and doesn’t just recommend what is the most expensive treatment. He gives you options and realistic expectations.

Dr. Manesis recently treated our pitbull for an ear infection and could not have been more accommodating for us and our dog. He went out of his way to make sure he was available at all times for questions we had regarding medication, etc. The staff at the front desk was equally amazing. We will definitely be back!

Always pleased to have my dog taken care of @ this office reception is awesome
